Visa for the UK
A friend from South America was coming to visit us and applied for a visa. She received her passport with no visa and no explanation. Does this mean that she has been rejected? Her husband and son have been accepted (so no idea why she was rejected although she did come her last year without them).

Big increases in charges for checked in bags?
I have just booked a return flight to Bologna in late September. I first checked Skyscanner and found apparently reasonable looking prices for BA but it was a con. The only other direct route was Ryanair and I avoid them because of their inconsistent baggage rules. I last flew home from Bologna with BA in April 2023 and…

Car hire excess Vs deposit
Hello, I think I have made a mistake with my car hire. I am currently on holiday and picked up a car using europcar from Faro. I paid a €300 deposit for the smallest car and I have taken out my own excess insurance. However, I have confused myself about the credit needed for a deposit and the car hire excess. I only have…

Ryanair prime
Whilst I'm not a big fan of ryanair, they serve the nearest airport to where I often go. They've launched a£79 membership, 'Ryanair prime', with early and exclusive access to seat sales... But I cannot find it any information on how often such sales are on, what the level of discount is, nor even if it will be for all…

Beware Ryanair on board purchases
All purchases made on Ryanair flights are now pay by card only and are being automatically charged in pounds sterling despite onboard prices being listed in Euros. Make sure when you pay that you insist on paying in Euros. You will get a much better exchange rate from your bank than from Ryanair. Be especially careful that…

Planning a trip to NYC. First long haul flight questions
Hello I fly frequently but so far I've only done Europe. I often go for a few days but sometimes a week and I've managed with a small backpack (north face) I wear one pair of shoes... I imagine I might need a larger bag for NYC but I don't want to have checked luggage. I'm looking at a travel bag as I hate roller bags. Any…

Find me a cheap Ryanair bag
I've purchased priority boarding which includes the underseat bag, and also an overhead locker bag @10kg 55x40x20cms. I'd like to get as close to this as possible. I found one in Home Bargains for £25, but it stands 56cm tall, with the wheels, and I'm not sure I want to risk it. What's the closest anyone has got?

Car Parking Refund from Ryanair after they have cancelled a flight
I made a car parking booking via Ryanair at the same time that I booked my flights with them from Manchester Airport. A couple of weeks later Ryanair cancelled the return flight, so we had to rebook our return flights for a day earlier, as they had no seat availability on the original return date. Because the initial car…

Bought parking with Ryanair via Ryanair app but didn't receive a confirmation email so had to purchase parking direct form Stansted Airport. Requested a refund from Ryanair and they refused. This is a common problem but they have proof of my payment to them and told me to contact Stansted Airport who have no record of my…

Car hire fuel dispute
I hired a car from Pisa airport with AutoVia -- and returned it with the same fuel level as I collected it. But they've billed €36 to my credit card (fuel + admin fee). Our photos show different fuel levels (but odometer readings are identical). I can only assume they've siphoned-out some fuel. I've sent my photo, but…

Stay away from Autovia / Ecovia !!!
Dear people, Please be very, very careful choosing Autovia and/or Ecovia as your rental car partner/provider. This unreliable company is claiming all kind of car damages after your rental period for which you are definitively not responsible. It occurred to me two weeks ago when I rented a Fiat 500 at the Bergamo Airport.…

Easyjet disruption expenses claim
Of my last four Easyjet flights, two were severely disrupted. The first was delayed due to lack of working deicer at the starting airport, we landed just under 3 hours late but by the time the doors were open and we were finally able to get off the aircraft we were past the 3 hour mark. I took a photo on board at 3h01min.…

No compensation when an airport causes financial loss?
Last year our family of 4 were due to leave Luton airport on a 07:15
flight to Antalya on 16th July. It had a problem with its baggage system, it then didn't organise the 100s strong queue of people leaving at all different times, and so our flight departed and transport left without us. Instead we left Luton at 17:55 on…

I want a refund as the flights are no longer suitable. However I have not received an email from Ryanair confirming the change - this is what opens the door to…

BA check in still 24 hours before flight?
I haven't flown with BA for a while. I didn't like the way that I couldn't get my boarding pass until 24 hours before the flight. Easyjet lets me do it 4 weeks ahead. Is this still the case? I don't have a printer at home and refuse to rely on the phone. Thanks
